Beautiful Pergola Ideas for Relaxing and Inviting Outdoor Areas
Why Add a Pergola to Your Backyard
Stay Cool While Still Enjoying the Sun
A pergola creates a perfect spot to relax outdoors, letting you enjoy sunlight and fresh air.
Makes Your Yard Look Great
Pergolas are a simple way to upgrade your backyard. Add climbing plants or lights, and they instantly make the space feel cozy and inviting.
Add Value to Your Home
Buyers love well-designed outdoor spaces, and a pergola makes your home feel more inviting and high-end.. It’s a small investment that can make your property more attractive.
Turn Your Backyard into an Outdoor Living Room
It’s like having an extra room outside. Use it for dining, lounging, or even working—it’s your space to make the most of.
Fits Any Style
From classic wood to sleek metal, you can customize a pergola to match your home. It works for any look you’re going for.
Becomes the Centerpiece
A pergola naturally becomes the centerpiece of your outdoor area, tying together patios, seating areas, and gardens—making your outdoor space feel effortlessly put together.
Pergola Ideas That Work for Your Space
At Sequoia, we design pergolas that fit right into your backyard and turn it into a space you’ll love to use. A cozy corner to relax, a shaded spot for weekend hangouts, or an elegant setting for hosting—you’ll find an option that fits your style.
Classic Wood Charm
A wooden frame always works. Cedar, teak—whatever you pick, it just blends so well in a garden. Add some climbing plants, and it becomes a whole vibe.
Sleek and Modern
Want something sleek? Go for clean lines and light colors. Aluminum or painted wood gives off that modern, low-key look.
Private Nook
Feel like creating a little hideaway? Hang some curtains or add a screen. It’s perfect for a cozy nook where you can chill or hang with friends.
Green Canopy
Use the space to grow vines like wisteria or grapevines. Over time, it turns into a beautiful, shaded canopy that feels alive.
Poolside Shade
Place it by the pool for shade while you lounge. Throw in comfy chairs, and it’s the perfect spot to kick back between swims
Shaded Fire Pit
Create a cozy spot around the fire pit. Add string lights or lanterns, and you’ve got a warm, inviting setup for those chill nights.
Garden Pathway Frame
Line a walkway with a structure like this for a grand entrance. With vines or hanging plants, it’ll guide you through your garden in style.

“We worked with Sequoia on a front and backyard design. Will has a great eye for design and a lot of knowledge about water needs and maintenance requirements. He worked within our budget and we were very pleased with the outcome. He and his staff were very friendly, professional, and great to work with.

"Great experience all around! The Sequoia team has done a fantastic job on our rather a larger-scale project. Both Will and Haley went above and beyond to ensure our project stayed on track despite a couple of changes along the way, which was much appreciated as we began the work in March with a hope to complete it by early June to have the whole summer to enjoy our new beautiful outdoor space. To our delight, the work was done right as planned! The Sequoia team has been very responsive throughout the project (and even after we finished the work!), gave us a lot of useful insights, and were very focused on delivering 100%+ on things that mattered to us. Thank you, Sequoia team - we really appreciate your partnership!
